Frigidaire 240328402 Refrigerator Upper Door Hinge Bearing

Product Description

The FRIGIDAIRE 240328402 is a genuine OEM upper door hinge bearing designed to provide low-friction rotational support at the top hinge location of a refrigerator door. Also classified as a door hinge bushing, this component maintains proper door alignment and allows smooth, consistent movement through opening and closing cycles. It is a direct-fit replacement part installed by appliance repair technicians and experienced service professionals when door sag, stiffness, or hinge wear is diagnosed. The bearing seats between the upper hinge assembly and the door, absorbing rotational load and preventing metal-on-metal contact at that pivot point.

This bearing is suited for residential refrigerators where the upper hinge assembly has become worn, damaged, or degraded over time. Typical installation scenarios include door alignment failures, excessive door swing resistance, or visible wear at the upper hinge contact surface. Compatible brands listed by the manufacturer include Frigidaire, Kenmore, White-Westinghouse, Crosley, and Gibson refrigerator units that use the 240328402 upper hinge bearing in their door assembly design.

Installation Notes

This part is typically installed by an appliance repair technician. Before servicing the door hinge assembly, disconnect the refrigerator from its power source. The refrigerator door may need to be fully removed to access and replace the upper hinge bearing - use appropriate lifting assistance to avoid injury when handling the door panel. Inspect the upper hinge bracket and door pin for wear while the bearing is out, and replace any additional damaged components before reassembly.
